Ordered a tea on their app. When I arrived they said they didn’t have the tea available… which is fine. When I asked for a refund they said they could give one to me because I bought it on the app. I demanded a manager and said I wanted a refund since they didn’t have what I wanted. Guy in the drive through called his manager and suddenly they had the tea I wanted in the back. I ended up throwing it out anyways because I was afraid the guy spit in it

The lady working the till had her AirPods in her ears the entire time I was trying to get help from her. I was asking a question about a menu item because I have dietary restrictions, just wanted to make sure I didn’t eat something I couldn’t have and she barely said a single word to me. I don’t think she could hear me over whatever she was listening to in her headphones. I ended up leaving without buying anything because the service from her was so poor.

Bathroom is for “customers only.” And I really needed to go the bathroom. Huh???

The espresso I ordered tastes like water. And the employee over there is not professional with coffee and its ingredients

I was deeply dissatisfied with my recent order from your franchise. Our order took 2 and a half hours to arrive, and after the first 45 mins, I tried calling the store multiple times to get an update as to where our order was. After the 5th or 6th attempt, I finally heard back from the store saying that they don’t accept delivery requests online (the Second Cup website), and I had to use Door Dash or Skip. This is fine, but the website shouldn’t have allowed me to choose a location that does not participate in said delivery. I asked about how I could go about getting a refund, and I was told to contact the Second Cup head office directly. I phoned twice, and never got through. To my surprise, after 2.5 hours, I got a text saying that our order was on its way. Once it showed up, the drinks were terribly underwhelming. One latte tasted extremely burnt/bitter, and another was super sweet (asked for half sweet). The one that was super sweet was supposed to be completely plant based as I have a dairy allergy as stated in the order, however, I had an allergic reaction to the beverage. I am not one to complain as I spent several years working as a barista in the past, but this service was appalling. Not to mention, we paid $30 for 3 poorly made drinks. I will not be ordering from Second Cup going forward.

I would leave 0 reviews if I could. So many things about this place is just not right. 1- The staff there is rude. I went to get a drink this morning. The lady gave a disgusting stare. Didn’t even ask “Hi what can get you? How are you today?” It felt racist. 2- the drink was so average. Nothing special. I ordered the pink oat chai, the syrup wasn’t even mixed properly. It all settled in the bottom. 3- no wifi at a cafe?? You got to be kidding. She said “I can actually give you the password for the building next door” that’s literally stealing. Avoid this place at all cost.

Horrible service on September 2nd. Came to the cafe with my friend and the barista didn’t allow him to use the restroom because she assumed he wasn’t going to purchase something. She discriminated him because he works in construction and wasn’t dressed up. He just wanted to use the restroom and order coffee after. Very rude and unprofessional barista. Not impressed whatsoever. Never coming back.
